Description

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) is a surfactant commonly used in personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and toothpaste. It is derived from coconut oil and undergoes a process to convert it into a water-soluble form. SLES acts as a cleansing and foaming agent, helping to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin and hair while creating a rich lather. Despite its effectiveness in cleaning, SLES may cause skin irritation in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin. Therefore, it's essential to use products containing SLES in moderation and to discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur.
